Our Process

Step No. 1

Discover

This is the first and most important step in the process. No stone remains unturned, and our findings and research result in an excellent roadmap for all design and development. We become as immersed as possible in your business so we can identify your goals, your customers as well as any potential pitfalls and roadblocks so we can plot a clear course for a successful project.

Step No. 2

Plan

Trying to build a web site without a solid plan is like trying to build a house with no blueprint. Our team works hand in hand with you to create a detailed site map, wireframe, and prototype of the entire project. By the end of this phase, the roadmap is crystal clear to everyone involved.

Step No. 3

Design

This is the fun part! We get to take the plan we so meticulously created in the first phase of the project, turn it over to our award-winning design team and let them do what they do. We work closely with you to ensure that our design represents the integrity and spirit of your brand. We'll guide you through this sometimes daunting process to make sure that the result is the best both for you and your customers.

Step No. 4

Develop

We will work with you to create a master Requirements document, outlining every detail of how your site should function, so that we waste no time in development. During the construction phase the designs are cut into CSS/xhtml and all client-side and server-side functionality will be implemented perfectly across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms. If you don't know what those terms mean, we'll guide you through it.

Step No. 5

Launch

All of our sites are subjected to module testing and we also provide Quality Assurance services for bugs and load testing, ensuring that your site launch will be fully optimized and ready for users to start exploring. In short, we try to break the site and fix it before it hits the web.

Step No. 6

Support

As you know, things move fast on the web. It seems like every day, new technologies are relegating the old ones to the dust bin. A Support package from The Old State will ensure that your project stays on top of current technologies and that your design remains on the leading edge.
